Packet 10: Tossup 5

Channel 4 anchor Jon Snow got flak for criticizing a British “fascism” surrounding these objects, which are a target of soccer player James McClean. Georgia professor Moina Michael popularized a tradition around these objects. Anna Guérin traveled the US distributing these objects in exchange for donations, which is now the Haig Fund’s primary fundraising method. Don Cherry’s xenophobic claim (15[1])that immigrants rarely used these objects led to his firing from Hockey Night in Canada.

That poem, which describes how these objects “blow / Between the crosses, row on row,” is John McCrae’s “In Flanders Fields.” For 10 points, a replica of what flower is worn to honor fallen soldiers on Remembrance Day? ■END■
